About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225SU
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC32X225SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding mid-weight tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. A 1/4" port supplies air, while the 225 mm stroke falls well within the 500 mm standard limit. Because this is a -S SKU, it includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends let you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke kinetic energy at high speeds, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. In practical terms, this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 20.5 kg of vertical lift when applying a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation in tight machinery.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225SU Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Drives 225 mm diverting arms at high cycle rates, relying on the adjustable air cushions to softly stop the 402 N thrust without slamming packages.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds heavy corrugated flaps on packaging lines where the stainless build withstands washdown, while the U cover keeps the 1/4" port neatly oriented.
Light Pressing Jigs
Applies up to 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings or pins, using the needle-set cushions to prevent impact damage on the fixture.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC25X50 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to an MIC40X50 increases thrust to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm class when moving heavier fixtures at high velocities, as the adjustable air cushion is essential for preventing harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold position during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
The U 90-degree back cover offers flexible mounting, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for precise end-position detection.
Quick checklist

- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a brake. For vertical loads, you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
